Stone Curves Cohousing is an urban in-fill community of 48 households. We have integrated permaculture and renewable energy systems into our landscaping and building designs.

Stone Curves Cohousing is envisioned to be a demonstration model of what can be done in and for our desert.

We share in the use of a 16-room common house, a planned 800-sq-ft shop, gardens, pool and multiple play areas for kids and adults.
